Unless someone can show me a good reason to use one I am quite unlikely to
try it again. It seems the risk is too great and the upside is very little.

A good position to take. Most of the items that get cleaned by these
things are orphans, pointing nowhere. but with nothing pointing at them.
So they do nothing but take up a little space - usually trivial when set
against the size of he registry. But some cleaners are overly
aggressive and remove items that they do not recognise - but which are
needed. Even if they have an undo, make sure that there is a restore
point to put the registry back exactly as it was. And really, save
waste of time and don't use them
